| About the FJCC |
| Board of Directors |
Founded by Jewish farmers and businessmen in the early 1900’s
and, officially incorporated in 1924, the Flemington Jewish
Community Center (FJCC) provides the Jewish community of
Hunterdon County with religious, educational, and social
programs. The history of the synagogue echoes Jewish
emigration during the 1900’s and growth of the Hunterdon County
community.
The FJCC is led spiritually by Rabbi Evan Jaffe and managed by
the Board of Directors.

| Rabbi Evan Jaffe |
Born in Denver, Colorado, Rabbi Jaffe
graduated Cum Laude from Colombia
University with a BA in Religion and
received an MHL (Master of Hebrew
Letters) from the Jewish Theological
Seminary. Rabbi Jaffe and his wife,
Phyllis Lerner, have two daughters,
Jordana and Atara.
Since taking the pulpit at the
Flemington Jewish Community Center,
the congregation has increased
dramatically and much of that growth
is due to families attracted to our
congregation by Rabbi Jaffe's engaging style and
inclusive approach. He acts as both Rabbi and Cantor, reads
Torah and teaches Hebrew School. Additionally, he personally
tutors each bar/bat mitzvah student.
Rabbi Jaffe bridges gaps between the diverse groups in our
congregation and has initiated youth group programs, Shabbat
dinners and junior congregation. One of his greatest contributions
has been involving the younger members of our congregation in
Jewish life. Children frequently participate in and even lead
services.
Rabbi Jaffe is also very involved in the Hunterdon County
Community. He is currently the Jewish Chaplain at Hunterdon
Medical Center; serves as chaplain for the Hunterdon
Developmental Center, where he works with severely retarded
adults and conducts services for them each Wednesday; serves
as the Jewish Chaplain for the Hunterdon County Jail, visiting its
Jewish prisoners; and is President of the Hebrew Free Loan
Society.
The Rabbi's involvement in community activities has served as a
role model for our congregants, many of whom have followed his
example and became active in the groups to which he has
devoted time and energy.
